GOOD TO KNOW
The decisions that matter before you pick a size.
Builds, application servers and database queries all use CPU differently. Watch your own workload before moving up a plan.
NVMe storage suits databases and workloads with many small files. Memory, queries and backups still matter.
Use your usual package manager, container tools and service manager on the distribution you choose.
Pick one your software supports, with security updates. Windows images come with separate licence terms.
Keep a copy off the server. Snapshots and redundant storage are not a substitute for an independent, tested backup.
Write down your open ports, public services and who can log in. Keep only the access you need.

FAQ
Quick answers before you choose a plan.
Only if your workload can use extra threads. Memory pressure, disk activity and single-threaded work often become the limit first.
No. Ryzen VPS plans are virtual servers on a shared host. For a whole machine, see our Ryzen dedicated servers.
A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine on a shared physical host. You get your own operating system, root access, memory, storage and IP address, at a fraction of the cost of a whole server.
GLWS VPS plans start at £0.99 a month. The VPS pricing page lists every plan, monthly and annual.
A VPS shares a physical host and suits most websites, applications and development. A dedicated server is a whole machine for heavy or steady workloads. See GLWS dedicated servers.
Choose from Linux and BSD images, or Windows Server on the Windows VPS plans. See the VPS operating systems page.
List the application, database and background processes you will run. Estimate memory and storage together, then leave headroom for updates, logs and busy periods.
Pick a plan to open the configurator, then choose your operating system, location and billing period and continue to the review step. You can change any choice before you continue.
